Both these controllers have their own tasks for which they are responsible. The controller sampler ensures all the requests are met to the server. On the other hand, the Logical controller is responsible for changing the manner of processing the requests that are originated from the elements.

Concurrent users in Apache JMeter points to multiple users doing same operation at same time like 100s of users logging into software application, at same time or concurrently.
Number of threads in Apache JMeter simulates concurrent connection to the application under test. It can be configured in Apache JMeter test plan for conducting concurrent users test. Configure concurrent thread group for concurrent users in Apache JMeter.
Calculating concurrent users, is bit tricky as we can only guess the number of concurrent users and it will be good if we make a guess objectively. Calculating concurrent users in Apache JMeter can be done by dividing unique visitors by their visit duration like 100 unique visitors per minute with 10 minutes per visit results in 10 concurrent user per minute (100/10).

Throughput is, number of incoming requests being served or successfully processed and output sent, as per set parameters, with in a time span like seconds or minutes or even hours.
As per Apache JMeter documentation, throughput is requests/unit of time.
In Apache JMeter the unit of time taken for calculating the throughput, is from start of the first sample to the end of the last sample. This time span includes intervals between samples.
The Apache JMeter throughput formula is: Throughput = (number of requests) / (total time).

The aggregate report listener has 90% line as one of the metrics. The Apache JMeter manual describes 90% line as- “90% of the samples took no more than this timeâ€. It is actually the 90 percentile of the response times of the samples –
90 percentile = (90/100)*N+1/2 where N is the number of samples
So, if there are 10 samples then 90%line will be 9.5 or 9. It means the 9th value in the sorted list of samples (sorted according to ascending order of their response times).

Apache JMeter can simulate unlimited number of users.
Number of users is specified by the number of threads, in a test plan.
But, remember that the thread count is limited by the hardware resources of the computer machine the test is conducted and number of file descriptors else, testing speed will degrade.
Limitation can be circumvented by conducting distributed Apache JMeter tests or using cloud solutions.

At the beginning of the load test of an application instead of putting all the users live, we slowly ramp up the number of users in order to study their effect in the application’s performance. In JMeter, the ramp-up period defines the time period within which all the specified users get in running state.

JMeter is actually, Apache JMeter and is open source software application to conduct performance test on software applications. Apache JMeter is extensively used for performance testing of web applications.
Apache JMeter works by executing a test plan, made by test engineer or manager. The Apache JMeter test plan lists steps to execute. A Apache JMeter test plan has
* Thread Groups
* logic controllers
* sample generating controllers
* listeners
* timers
* assertions
* configuration elements

Apache JMeter testing involves using the open source Apache JMeter software for testing of software application. Apache JMeter testing is applied for performance check of both static and dynamic resources. Apache JMeter simulates a heavy load on application, to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types.
Apache JMeter is widely used for performance testing of web applications. Apache JMeter is open source software and made in Java programming language.

Workbench is a storage area for adding some components which can be added to the test plan if required.
Components of workbench do not get saved with the test plan automatically. They have to be saved separately as test fragments. A most important part of the Workbench is HTTP(s) Test script recorder which is highly useful in recording the https request and later load can be applied to+9859 them to measure the response time.

It depends on the hardware of the system.
For Example, on a 2-3 GHz CPU, 400-600 threads can be generated. It also depends on the components in your test plan. More the processors and XML parsing elements, the more the CPU load and hence fewer threads. For high load, it is recommended to use multiple machines for load testing.

HTTPS connection requires a certificate to authenticate the connections which get established when the browser hits the webserver. JMeter generates it temporarily to intercept the SSL traffic in order to record the actions. For recording actions via mobile, you need to have this certificate on your mobile to record the actions.

BeanShell is a lightweight Java scripting that is used in JMeter to perform some complex task. BeanShell sampler can perform various functions with the use of coding. You can print the thread number, get the current sampler executed, fetch the cookies, etc.
Posted Date:- 2021-10-16 06:21:59
Sessions and cookies can be managed in JMeter by using config elements such as HTTP Cache Manager which provides an option to clear the cookies in every iteration and also allows to add user-defined cookies.
HTTP Cache manager helps you in clearing cache after each iteration as per your requirement in the load tests and also limits the number of elements that can be stored in the cache. Both of these config elements can be attached to the HTTP sampler.

Yes, it is possible to run selenium scripts in JMeter to get some ideas on their performance.
There are two ways of doing it. Either you can use JUnit libraries to build selenium scripts and save as Jars and copy the same in the JMeter directory. And then add JUnit sampler to your test plan and import the Jar file.
Otherwise, the Webdriver sampler plugin can be added in the JMeter ext folder. Restart the JMeter. Write your selenium code in the Webdriver sampler and then execute it to see the performance.
Posted Date:- 2021-10-16 06:19:33
JMeter tests can be run both GUI as well as Non-GUI Mode. It is highly recommended to run the load test in Non-GUI mode because the AWT event thread can kill the tests in case of high load scenarios.
The various Non-GUI mode supported with JMeter are:
* Command-line
* ANT plugin
* MAVEN plugin
* Jenkins

Just as in any other programming language, variables and functions are used in JMeter also in order to make the scripts reusable.
Syntax of Variable – ${var}
There are many inbuilt functions that are available in JMeter to perform various actions. Function string can be generated from the Function Dialogue Box itself.
For Example, if you want to get the machine IP stored in a machineIP variable, you can use the string ${__machineIP(machineIP)}.
